Pros

-Great facility. The EPISCenter in downtown Dayton, is a new, top of the line power electronics test lab and IPT office area for NPI's. - Work vs life balance. Flexible paid time off and effective ways to work remotely when life happens. GE provides good options to be effective and recharge your batteries. - Senior Management. Previous mgt made last 2 years painful. At long last, looks like they got the right people for the job. I think current senior management is headed in the right direction.

Cons

- Poor project leadership. Communication and trust are bad, teams often kept in dark on serious technical issues and schedule delays. - Pay: its maybe 10-20% lower than similar jobs at other organizations. - Tough to get raises. Doing a good job gets recognized and results in increased responsibility. Thats good. But not in increased pay. Thats bad. I know a few folks whos management gave them more and more responsibility because they worked their tail off. Mgt strung them along with fuzzy promises for raises but never made good. They left.

Pros

The Loves Park (Rockford) based team is full of smart, decent people who are capable of great things if they weren't so encumbered by GE bureaucracy. The work environment is clean and generally comfortable. For salaried employees, the paid time off is flexible and theoretically unlimited.

Cons

For all it's projections to the contrary, GE is NOT a meritocracy nor do they compensate their employees sufficiently to retain talent. Additionally, the Loves Park site is a small business unit that is forced to be run like the 300,000-employee business of which it is part, subject to all the inefficiencies and corporate lunacy that entails. As such, the employees are not empowered to innovate or grow and good talent is difficult to retain. Morale is abysmal, the outlook is bleak and the future is uncertain. Lastly, the perpetually-revolving door of upper management serves to keep us all frustrated and confused on a daily basis.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Clean and safe work environment. The jobs themselves are very interesting and technical. Lots of flex time and time off (once you complete 90 days probation)

Cons

The team environment takes some getting used to. I fell like I'm not part of the "club" sometimes. The training is all dependent on who is or is not willing to teach you.
